cent., by injecting juice of the flesh of 21 cows condemned at the 
abattoirs on account of tuberculosis. 
Woodhead 4 produced tuberculosis by injecting into the per¬ 
itoneal cavity of two rabbits the raw juice from the i.ntercostal 
muscles of a tuberculous cow, after the tuberculous pleura had 
been stripped off. 
Veyssiere and Humbert 5 inoculated two rabbits with i cc. 
of flesh juice from a tuberculous cow in very good condition, 
and both became tuberculous, ioo per cent. 
2. By Natural Methods. 
Johne 6 fed 35 animals with the raw flesh from animals at¬ 
tacked with tuberculosis, and 8, or 22.5 per cent., became 
tuberculous. 
Gerlach 7 fed 46 subjects in the same manner, and 6, or 13.1 
per cent., contracted the disease. 
Peuch 8 caused 2 young pigs to consume 5 pounds of raw flesh, 
without bone, in 10 days, and in 2 and 3 months, respectively, 
these animals presented discrete glandular tuberculosis, 100 per 
cent. 
Nocard 9 failed to produce tuberculosis in any of several 
litters of kittens, which he fed with meat of cattle condemned 
on account of tuberculosis. 
Perroncito 10 had like negative results in case of 18 young 
pigs, fed from three to five months on the flesh of condemned 
cattle. 
Galtier 11 reports that a calf, aged six weeks, ate in one 
month, four kilograms of raw meat taken from cows which had 
been seized on account of generalized tuberculosis ; another 
calf, aged four or five months, also ate at three different times 
large quantities of raw tuberculous meat ; two pigs, aged five 
to six months, ate considerable quantities of condemned meat. 
None of these animals developed tuberculosis. It is noteworthy 
that the presence of tubercle bacilli in some of this meat had 
been proven by inoculation of rabbits with its juice. 
In speaking of the transmission of tuberculosis to animals 
through meat, we must not lose sight of the fact that, in the
